How to Use NMS Save Editor

Learn how to use the No Man's Sky save editor to gain infinite currency, materials, and items, or to fix game-breaking bugs. Get your dream base faster!

Hey there! So, you're looking to dive into the No Man's Sky save editor? Awesome! It's a super handy tool that can really spice up your gameplay, especially if you're finding the grind a bit much. Think of it as a way to skip some of the more tedious parts so you can focus on the fun stuff, like building that epic base you've been dreaming of.

The game's massive, and honestly, putting in the hundreds of hours needed to see and do everything can be tough for most players. That's where the save editor shines. It's technically a cheat, yeah, but it lets you bypass a lot of the time investment without starting a whole new save file.

Infinite Currency, Materials, and Items in NMS

Let's be real, grinding for Units, Nanites, and Quicksilver can get old fast. With 13 different types of repeatable missions, plus the Quicksilver missions from the Space Anomaly, the replayability can feel a bit thin after a while. While these missions can still be a good reason to explore new systems, you can totally do that without them.

The biggest draw for many is building the base of their dreams. Need a mountain of materials or a ton of currency to get that perfect structure up? The save editor lets you instantly grab specific materials an infinite number of times. It's perfect for when you've got a grand vision but not the infinite time to gather everything.

Fix Game-Breaking Bugs in NMS

But it's not all about fast-tracking your progress! The save editor is also a lifesaver for fixing those annoying bugs that can sometimes ruin your game. If you're stuck on a mission or a bug has halted your progress, you can use the editor to tweak the mission stage, even reverting to a previous step if needed. Just make sure to check the editor's changelog for any updates, as sometimes certain mission stages have limitations. The good news is, the editor is usually updated frequently, so you'll likely be covered.

How to Install the Save Editor for No Man’s Sky

Getting the save editor set up is pretty straightforward. The instructions on the page should guide you through it. If you're not super comfortable with modding, take your time and read everything carefully. There's also an FAQ section if you run into any common issues. A big plus is that the editor usually backs up your save files automatically, so you don't have to stress too much about messing things up. You might need to install a version of JavaScript to get it running, so keep that in mind.

Pro Tip: You can even change the amount of reputation you've earned with specific factions using the editor!
